Meet a great nurse: Kathryn G. McBroom
posted October 12th, 2009Kathryn G. McBroom is one of 10 DUHS nurses who received the Great 100 Award this year, a statewide recognition program honoring 100 registered nurses who exemplify nursing excellence. Here are some comments about her from her supervisor, Wanda Bride, RN/ACNO, Duke Heart Center: "Kathy is an incredibly committed nurse -- to Duke Hospital, to the Heart Center and to her patients. She has a can-do attitude and there is no job that is too small or too big that she won't tackle."
Each of DUHS' Great 100 is dedicated, talented, knowledgeable. You'll be meeting them individually in Inside Online videos in the near future.
Mary Ann Fuchs, chief nursing officer and patient care services officer at DUHS, said the Great 100 winners are a testament to the impact nurses are making at work and in their communities.
“Day in and day out, nurses, like those being honored with this award, go above and beyond the call of duty to deliver innovative, extraordinary care to patients,” said Fuchs. “We are proud of their continued dedication to the nursing profession and their dedication to patient care.”
